moving car seat: How easy is it to move this seat between two cars?
14180
I don't do it that often but find it rather easy. However I do have the latch system and it fits easily in my impala. I can move it to my mother in laws jeep but cant fit the jeeps latch system, think I'm doing something wrong. I can confidently install it forward facing in the jeep and thats what I do. All in all, takes about 10 min and I don't do it often.

Super super super easy... I'm sad I will be unable to use it after she outgrows the infant car seat. I wish bugaboo made adapters for the convertible car seats!!

I haven't moved the seats since I installed it on the front seats but....if you loosen it and moved the seats and then adjust it... I think it will be okay.... I have to say this... this product is sooo easy and I really love it...lost my lab mix this past summer but I still have it up for my Pit Bull... She is a sweeeeet girl who has not really force the issue of being in the back of the SUV....for the money, I am overly thankful that I got this.

There are two parts -- the base and the holder. I have moved it several times with no issues (it suctions to the base or window, etc.). The base has adhesive on the bottom of it so it is not easily moved. If you want it for two cars, I would see if You could get two bases.

It is very easy and very light. I bought the go go baby mini travelmate with it and could easily carry them both on. You just thread the seatbelt through the slot and pull it tight until secure. I put baby on another seat while I did it and it took maybe two minutes at most.

Well, 'easily' is a relative term. It's easy to disconnect the click in straps on the sides (assuming your vehicle supports these). It's a bit less easy to disconnect the overhead tether. The seat itself is large and a bit heavy, which is a positive if safety is of chief concern. All that being said, I would not move it car to car. I see it as permanent for the vehicle in which it resides. However, if necessary, it is only a matter of disconnecting three tethers and the handling involved. So, technically it is 'easily' moved from one vehicle to another. (Your experience may vary)

Yes. Very easy. Also easy to leave in place if you choose. I always have one in my purse for riding in cars belonging to friends.

I bought it for that reason too but honestly... No. It's not like an infant base and if you have a small child you have to think about where to put them while you are trying to switch it between cars. It's not light. We have found it easier to have two separate carseats for our vehicles. I still love this seat, though, so it's in my car (which is used daily).

no you have to transfer the one from the old seat,not very difficult to do. Works fine for me

We bought another seat so we have one in each car. We had to do it this way with our daycare drop offs; daddy does am, mommy does pm. Good luck!

I love the car seat. You can recline back or sit it upright. It is pretty bulky and will probably have to push front seat up a little.

Hi Camila, I was very disappointed to find out that "it doesn't" the way the prior models do, which as you may know, you just pull the handle between the child's fit and adjust, that easy... this model has 3 different positions but you can only change it by removing the carseat from the seat, adjusting the new position pulling a lever from the bottom back of the carseat and then installing it again, witch is very disappointing to me, I have 4 children (always have bought Maxi-Cosi) and that was the main thing I loved about this car seats.. the child is asleep, pull and change position, the child woke up, pull and seat him/her up again, sadly doesn't work like that with this one.

I have only had it for a short time and don't use it everyday. I usually use it on the weekends once in a while. My grandson is 5 yrs. old and doesn't eat while in it. Haven't had to clean it yet, but from what I read in the manual that comes with it, it seems to be fairly easy to do that. My daughter-in-law recommended this one to me as she runs a daycare and has 2 of these car seats for each of their vehicles. I definitely wouldn't be afraid to purchase this item. I am very happy with it.

The only that I found to be any type of an issue (and it was not that bad) was that when using the carrier in the back I was not able to recline that front seat too far back. Just a small bit of advise, is have the heavier kid in the back. It is easier to push that way. I did it the other way once and it was harder. I also put my carrier in the front if kiddo was sleeping so I could recline the back seat all of the way so he could lay down.

This is a one piece baseless carseat. If you want to take this carseat in second car you just have to take it out of the first car and reinstall in a second.

Yes it is very pliable and you shouldn't have any difficulty with a middle seat position as long as the space accommodates the car seat.
